Governor Cuomo and state lawmakers are still trying to put together a special session before the end of the year that could include a pay raise.

Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, who’s holding three days of meetings at the Capitol with his Democratic members, says no date has been set yet for a December session. But he says Democrats are willing to come back if there are important time-sensitive agenda items they can agree upon, including strengthening laws in light of increased racially biased attacks since Donald Trump was elected President.
